5 0

Answer:

  • 200

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Total certificates = 500
  • Math = m
  • Science = s

<u>Equations </u>

  • m+s = 500  ⇒ s = 500 - m

<u>Girls who won certificates:</u>

  • 2/3m = 50 + 3/2*1/2s
  • 2/3m = 50 + 3/4s

<u>Multiply both sides by 12 to clear fractions</u>

  • 8m = 600 + 9s

<u>Substitute s</u>

  • 8m = 600 + 9(500 - m)
  • 8m = 600 + 4500 - 9m
  • 17m = 5100
  • m = 5100/17
  • m =300

<u>Girls who won math:</u>

  • 2/3*300 = 200

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The midpoint is (-2,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

( -7+3)/2 = -4/2 =-2

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

(-6+4)/2 = -2/2 =-1

The midpoint is (-2,-1)

Answer:

80 adults must addent to make a complete $1,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Cisco is 50 feet from the base of the tree when he spots his friends zorro the cat at the top of the tree that is 42 feet high,
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Given both the distance from the tree and the height of the tree, the angle of elevation can be obtained using the tangent formula, tangent theta = opposite side / adjacent side. In this case, opposite side = the tree's height and the adjacent side is the distance of Cisco to the tree. Therefore, the angle of elevation equals 40.03 degrees.
